Nofar wanted to have a meeting to connect and plan with Jessy before getting to work on her own. Jessy took the opportunity to invite her to record their initial conversation as a podcast to show the world what their conversations are really like.

This podcast is the result of that offer.

Midway through our road trip, at the end of our day in Frankfurt, we felt the need to record a podcast. Too much magic had happened for us not to share it with the world. This is the day that showed us that anything is possible if we just believe strongly enough, ask for what we want and are open to the universe. In this episode of Inside the Hive, we delve into how limitations can be magical when you trust your intuition.

In this episode of Inside The Hive, hosts Jessy Plante and Nofar Drukman tackle the often difficult and uncomfortable topic of: Asking for what you want.

They dive into the core reasons people hesitate to ask and explore strategies to overcome this, including ideas borrowed from a popular TED Talk.

The conversation covers:

• The Power of the "No": How to frame a "no" as an opportunity to follow up, ask for more details, or even turn it into a "yes," as Nofar shares from her personal experience.

• Letting Go of Control: Recognizing that asking means putting the "ball in the other person's court" and why that is so challenging.

• The Franklin Effect: Discovering how asking someone for help or advice can actually make them like you more.

• Asking for Money: The particular difficulties of discussing salary, prices, or seeking funds, and the hosts' advice on asking for more than you initially think you deserve, especially for women.

Being Genuine and Clear: The importance of stating your needs, your "why," and the value you bring, without being apologetic.
